A few weeks back, in “Wrangling the Writing Life<\/a>“, I mentioned the exigencies that ensued when my ISP decided to update me (!).<\/p>\n

…at my place<\/p><\/div>\n

But I have also been taking the opportunity to update my sites m’ownself as well. This is all very low key (but no Loki, because I suspect that could be bad), so regular visitors probably won’t notice much difference. Chiefly I’ve updated to reflect that the WALL finale has been sent to Harper Voyager and updated various “news items” of recent years, most of which got a mention on the blog, but didn’t make it to the website.<\/p>\n

The latter updating is still happening, but probably the most noticeable change is that I’ve added an FAQ panel on the website’s News<\/a> page. There are still a few more items to go up, but I hope it will cover readers’ most frequently asked questions.<\/p>\n

My BlueSky header. \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n

Oh yes, and I’ve finally joined the Blue Sky platform. I’ll be adding a link to the blog sidebar (when I get a roundtuit \ud83d\ude09 ), but if you’re also on the platform, my handle is @helenlowe.bsky.social<\/a> So\u00a0 in the immortal words of T Frohock’s<\/a> series, Los Nefilim<\/a>, “I’ll watch for you” there.<\/p>\n

Oh, and re that Loki mention, I think my absolutely favourite book that features the trickster god is Diana Wynne Jones’ Eight Days of Luke<\/em><\/strong>. It’s Junior fiction, but a great read, and a great ‘take’ on Loki. I love it, so if you havena read it already, maybe give it a go.<\/p>\n

Diana Wynne Jones’ tale is based on Sigurd & Brunnhilde, among other Norse myths<\/p><\/div>\n
